mate,,,,,you should be right with about 40 Ib i know people that have brung down good sized boars with about a 36-37 pound bow,,,,,,,,so see what they are comfortable with.....(between 40-50 pound),,,,,,,,also, just make sure you have razor sharp broadheads, a file, stone and steel will do to sharpen.......as you probably already know :lol: 8)

Good luck :)

Cheers, Timdegrey :wink:

First up welcome to the site nummy.
And yes 40# will be enough for all the game you mentioned. As you probably already know it comes down to a well placed arrow for a clean kill.
Happy hunting and hope to hear of the boys first kills.
